SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.' 752,349, dated February 16,1904. I i Application Bled July 22, 1908i Serial No. 166,574. (No model.) l

vject is to provide a simplel adjustable guide wherein will be done away Hwith the usual bolts and like securing means and a key arrangement provided for locking and fo take-up. y

It consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts,y as hereinafter more n fully described, having reference to the acvas companying drawings, in whichshowing a portion of the chain-bar, theguidecap, and the tapered guides and showingthe tapered liners in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is acrosssection on line- X X, Fig. l.

A represents a cast-iron or steel chair of suitable length, 4dependent on the number of included space narrower at the bottom than at the top. The cap 5 has its sides correspondingly beveled and is narrower across one end than the other, so that when the narrow end is inserted into the guides e to embrace the stern it will interlock with the guides and not fall out.

Adjustment and take-up arey provided for by the tapered liners or spacers 6, which yare inserted between the cap and the block 2, suitable clearance being provided between the parts and the guide-block having a tapered Figure l is a front view of our invention,

transverse channel on each side of the stem to receive the liners, the latter being kept out of Contact; with the stem by means of the intervening walls or ledges 8. These tapered liners are of fiber, hard wood, or other suitable material and serve not only to take up the or NVADACITY, ALEXANDER' MCooMBIE, or GRASS vALLEY, oALIFonNiA.

Wear'of the bearing,'butto stop the vibration due to the contact of metal with metal.

When the parts bec-ome Worn through longcontinued use, the liners on the two. sides of a stem are taken out and planed down or replaced by others of the proper thickness and the cap rengaged with guides 4 and given a few taps with the hammer, requiring no' bolts or other-means except its frictional engagement Withguid'es 4; to hold, it in place. Thus any stem may be taken'out or a guide adjusted or Anew' liners or caps put on without the necesblock having opposed, downwardly-converging guides upon oppositesides of the stemspace, and a cap having its-side edges converging downwardly and fitting said guides and vbeing secured thereby independent of other fastenings.

a cap having converging side edges to interlock with said guides, and removable liners interposed in said guides.

4. A batteryeguide, comprising a block having converging guides; a cap having converging side edges fitting said guides, the surface of the block adjacent the cap on each side of' the stern-space being channeled, and removable bushings seated in said channels.

5. A battery guide comprising a block having downwardly converging channels our hands in presence of two subscribing Witforming guides; a cap having tapering side nesses.
